    Recommended to me by Calvin T. I've been looking to try North Tea Power for a few weeks and got the chance to swing by for a quick lunch on Sunday. NTP is located within the Smithfield Buildings on Tib St, next to Wood Wine and Deli and Superstore and is really easy to find. The inside is small but homely and was pretty busy. There is an outside patio area with tables too so I would say plenty of room for all their happy customers. Instantly I was made to feel welcome by the guys who run the place - really friendly people. Their tea and coffee menu is extensive, so there's plenty to choose from! Food less so, but they do homemade soups and toasted sandwiches - some breakfast items too! I ordered a pot of tea and their 'Ruben' toasted sandwich and sat outside, in what has been the mildest winter ever! I'd definitely go back here again - it seems like a hip hang-out.

    So i've decided to set myself a mission to find the perfect cup of green tea in Manchester and headed here first as the reviews seemed very positive and I had walked past it umpteen times before as its location is in the heart of the Northern Quarter on Tib St. Its small, comfortable and with very friendly staff. There isn't a proper menu at present, but as they apologised and promised one is coming soon, i shall forgive them, I shall be returning, so will get the chance to peruse at a later date. They had a small selection of sandwiches and cakes and I ordered a honey roast ham with brie and rocket. O.M.G. i wasn't expecting much from my ham butty, I was here to sample the tea remember, but it literally was mouthwatering. But now to the tea, I ordered the Green Jasmine Phoenix Pearl tea, it came in a little coffee plunger and I was advised to wait between 3-5 minutes before drinking and being a good girl, I did what I was told, and it was delicious, subtle and not too perfumey as some jasmine teas can be. Free wifi, a place to store your bike, small tables where you can huddle up with a book and a brew and even a large table down the middle where a bunch of you could spread out with tea, cake and laptops and even outdoor seating for people watching a plenty! I like this place . . . I like it a lot

    A place to go if you wanna have a good cuppa/coffee where there is WiFi. There isn't much choice in terms of food but I don't think that is their specialty. The atmosphere is quite lovely and rustic. There are newspapers for those who still read it in hard copies. Its a nice place to chill with your mates outside the tea shop when its sunny. The staff is very friendly and makes you feel welcome as soon as you step foot into the cafe. Artisanal coffees are available for those who really like their coffees. You have the option of a brewing method of V60 and Aeropresso depending on what you fancy. The coffees are swapped every 2-3 weeks, so you are guaranteed a new coffee if you popped in on a weekly basis.

    Delicious coffee and sandwich
    Rosanna B.

    Best cappuccino in Manchester! Fruit tea looked great. Would hate to know the calorie count - but the sandwich was yummy...Roast ham, Swiss cheese, honey mustard, beaten egg and maple syrup drizzled on the French toast. Hipster joint in Northern Quarter - expect vintage style bicycles!

    Cold brew coffee comes in a beer bottle! £2.50 (October 2014)

    So why did it take me a year of living in Manchester to get to North Tea Power? I have no clue. I met friends for coffee here one Sunday and it was a perfect choice. I had the cold brew, which was served in a beer-type bottle. My Reuben sandwich was massive, cheesy and delicious, while my friend's frittata looked virtuous and full of good things. There is a huge selection of tea which my friend took advantage of. After my sandwich I satisfied my sweet tooth with a Florentine. Prices overall were quite high but not staggering, and everything was good. I will certainly be back.

    Redbush tea and chocolate cheesecake

    On Saturday, I met some friends here prior to meeting other friends for early dinner at Evuna. It's in a really handy location as a pre-dinner place to meet for any of the places around Thomas Street. It's been at least two years since I have been here. I used to come when it first opened with a friend who has since moved away from Manchester and I'm not sure why it has taken me so long to come back. One time when we were here, my friend explained some complicated astrophysics using tea cups, so it's a place of education as well as tea/cake. I always used to get one of the green teas but since I'd already had a vat load of green tea earlier in the day, decided on the redbush. It was excellent, about as good as redbush gets. To accompany the tea, I had a chocolate cheesecake, which was absolutely delicious. They have lemon water and plain tap water on the side, which they keep topped up, which is nice. There's a range of condiments, including nutella, so that's an automatic plus point for me. There's a really nice chilled out vibe and is the sort of place you can meet mates, go on a date (when I first started internet dating 3 years ago, I met my first internet date here), sit and read a paper on your own, do some work (I noticed power points)....basically anything. Some coffee shops, including some indie ones, don't make you feel quite so comfortable on your own. I need to remember to come back here more often.

    Elderflower iced tea :)
    Emily C.

    Sat outside this hipster little joint one sunny afternoon in Manchester. I was only there for an hour, and didn't get any food (though it looked delish!) but fancied something refreshing for the day that was in it. The guys made me up an elderflower iced tea, which was genuinely one of the nicest non-alcoholic drinks I've ever had! So full of flavour and perfectly refreshing. It's a strange colour - not sure what else is mixed in with it, but I'd definitely recommend giving it a whirl! Another point is that internet is really spot on here - very fast, and they don't seem to mind people sitting around nursing drinks on their laptop. Great stuff.

    Ok so my last check-in sounded harsh RE price. So I thought I'd share this picture to assure you of how good it was though. Beat coffee in NQ? I think so.

    I should update this review to be more then me going 'Coffee nom mom nom' but I do warn you - it will sill be coffee centric. So NPT is my fav cafe for a brew as it brings in some fantastic rosters and brews the coffee while it as fresh as they can get it. As well as the normal espresso based drinks (cappuccino, latta et) it also just aeropress and pour over with a couple of different blends to pick from. They also have a messive list of tea to lust after, I found of a sweet cherry one myself. Also, cakes! They have amazing cakes but I will warn you that they can go quick if your the tape of person to go on later in the day. The coffee shop itself is pretty tipical NQ, laid back vib with more people with there Macs out working then I can keep track of! They keep rotating the artwork in there so there is always something on the wall to look at. So NTP, yes I am a fangirl.

    North Tea Power is just so lovely. I went to NTP once for the full English breakfast, which they don't have. We have to leave and come back another time for the coffee after a lunch. There is plenty of roast selection and some fine coffee choices available. The tea selection is pretty amazing too. We opted for Kenya Gichathaini Peaberry Washed black coffee and a latte. I don't usually like the acid flavour in the coffee much but this Kenya Gichathaini Peaberry is actually really nice. It's refreshing and light with the perfect level of aroma. I like the atmosphere in NTP as well. The seating layout is not fancy but provide a relaxing and creative feeling. We were there for the coffee and chat. But I do feel it could be great place to work and read.

    Yummy latte
    Chris T.

    I read the great reviews on Yelp before heading here, I wasn't that hungry at the time so was only heading there for a coffee, when i got there i kinda liked the outdoor terrace but it wasn't that warm to sit outside, I loved the decor of the place, very northern quarter type and loved the huge table to sit around and the ample seating around it, i decided to order a latte at £2.60 a reasonable price and very tasty, a bit luke warm for my liking and the regular size wasn't that big, would have expected the mugs to be a little bigger, but it tasted ok. the girl who bought it over didn't seem over friendly though and neither did the guy i ordered the coffee from, i wasn't asked i i wanted any muffins or cakes and didn't really see any on offer. It does seem to be a cool place to be though with most customers looking very trendy and most of them on there MacBooks. I wasn't a huge fan of the place but its a cool place to go so might go and give it another try sometime but theres loads more new coffee shops opening all over the NQ all the time so I'm not sure if ill be back in a hurry but if you want a quick coffee when youre heading somewhere, then this might be the place to go! They also do free wifi with a password needed.

    Jasmine & Breakfast Tea
    Jessica C.

    We sat outside today braving the wind but we did manage to capture a glimpse of rare sunshine underneath the canopy which is quite nice. It was a good place to chill and catch up. The breakfast tea (£2.20) & jasmine pearls (£4.00) was nice and strong, and the milk was served in a miniature milk bottle! Good place to take guests that are visiting Manchester for the first time, better than going to a coffee chain shop.

    Avocado on toast. Or rather, half of it!
    Jules M.

    Nice wee tea and coffee shop a short stroll from our hotel (Premier Inn Picadilly). The staff were lovely and the coffee was every bit as good as I expected it to be. There were freshly baked cakes, fresh fruit and filled croissants at the counter, but I opted for the avocado and sage on toast which came already seasoned with a little too much ground black pepper for my taste. My fellow diners had things with eggs, sort of scrambled as they didn't have the facilities to cook them in any other way. All good! There's a counter towards the rear with sauces and jugs of tap water to help yourself. Worth a try if you're looking for a very laid-back chilled-out vibe with your cuppa! Free wifi.

    See all
